Material calculator

Material calculator for fiber composite laminates

With the SAERTEX material calculator, you can quickly and easily determine the key parameters of your fiber composite laminate.
Calculate the laminate thickness, the material requirement for fabrics and resin as well as the resulting fiber content - either in percent by weight or percent by volume.

The calculator serves as a guide for the material design of simple or monolithic laminate structures based on fabrics.
Please note, however, that it is not suitable for sandwich structures or special products.
